The two columns under the heading "Team Comp" contain the definitive lists of the ratings to be used for the purposes of the team competitions: SP for the Shield and Arthur Busby Cup, QP for the 500 League and Minor League.

Subject to the next paragraph, player eligibility for all team competitions that run throughout the season is determined by the September 2023 list, which includes results of games played on 31 August 2023 or earlier.

A player who is treated as unrated at the beginning of the season, and therefore eligible to be be assigned a rating of 1000 or 800 under General Rule 10(b), will continue to be so treated unless an amendment is required under rule 10(f). Rule 10(f) also applies to players assigned an estimated grade for the purposes of our team competitions.

These ratings will be used to determine the eligibility of players and board orders for the team competitions during the whole season.

The suffix "E" indicates an estimated rating where a player is shown on the ECF list with a P (provisional) rating or is unrated where, on the basis of available information, the assignment of a rating is justified

The suffix "N" indicates a new player given a rating of 1000 or 800 in accordance with General Rule 10(b)
